Supercell—the studio behind Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars, and Hay Day—is famous for its cell structure: small autonomous teams with full creative freedom and no managers. But as their games scale and teams grow from 10 people to 60+, the old ways stop working. In 2023, Supercell went through a transformation, and so did their production practices.
Maria Maunula is a senior producer at Supercell who joined right when those changes started happening. In this conversation, she shares the concrete systems she's built across multiple studios and teams: how she structures sprints, runs retrospectives that actually change behavior, builds roadmaps, and keeps growing teams aligned.
This one is packed with practical details you can take back to your own team.
